Next Week's Carnival will be hosted over at Learn Me Good. Contributors are invited to use this handy submission form. Entries should be received no later than 8:00 PM (Eastern) 5:00 PM (Pacific) Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Please include the title of your post, and its URL, if possible. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the midway should open next Wednesday.

Special Note: Due to various scheduling conflicts related to the holiday we are presenting this week's midway "in the raw." That is to say, we'll be posting all submissions received via Blog Carnival's submission form without editing and with little or no commentary on our part.

So you might think of this particular roundup as a banquet where diners are invited to take their chances and eat a little of this and a little of that.

We apologize to our readers and hope that our next effort is more worthy.

bookfundas presents The Illustrated Dictionary of Electronics: DOWNLOAD eBOOK NOW..! posted at BookFundas.com, saying, "Continuing in the tradition of its best-selling predecessors, this updated dictionary of electronics terms covers a broader range of subjects in an easier-to-use format than any other source of its kind. No comparable reference offers such a vast range of definitions, abbreviations, acronyms, illustrations, schematics, diagrams, and conversion tables. More than 28,000 definitions–plus over 1,000 clear and functional illustrations–make the Eighth Edition the ultimate reference for technicians, hobbyists, and students."

bookfundas presents Visual Basic for Electronics Engineering Applications: 5.0, 6.0, Vba, .Net, 2005 - DOWNLOAD eBOOK NOW..! posted at BookFundas.com, saying, "The goal of this book is to show you how you can write your own programs using Visual Basic. However, this is not ?just another? book on VB. The target group of this book is people building test setups in R&D environments.This book covers all the basic concept of visual basic programming and is extremely useful for designing computer interface systems using visual basic.The book deals with all the hardware and software interfacing techniques and all the example programs written included in the download."

College Degrees presents Foreign Credential Evaluations: Know What you Need posted at The Degree People, saying, "If you received a foreign degree and are seeking the U.S. equivalency, you will need a foreign credentials evaluation.Make sure you know that the evaluation you are ordering meets your requirements, so you know that you can accomplish your goals by having the right evaluation."

Britannica Blog presents Education: Test From a Curriculum, Not a List of Standards Britannica Blog posted at Britannica Blog, saying, "It has become difficult to keep track of all the things that have gone wrong with the law. States are gaming the system by lowering standards. The predicted response to “failing schools” has not come about: few students leave them, and few take advantage of tutoring services, which are, by most reports, spotty. At least some schools have responded to the law by cutting time in science, social studies, music, and art, so as to spend more time on reading and math."

Tony Huynh presents 8 Ways to Make Your Goal a Certainty posted at LimitlessUnits.com, saying, "People will allow themselves to be pushed around and bullied in order to remain comfortable. People will act in a painful situation to ease the pain or remove the source of that pain. Security and comfort is not afforded by a job, it is provided by your ability to produce."

bookfundas presents Electromagnetic Metamaterials: Transmission Line Theory and Microwave Applications - DOWNLOAD eBOOK NOW..! posted at BookFundas.com, saying, "This book presents an original generalized transmission line approach associated with non-resonant structures that exhibit larger bandwidths, lower loss, and higher design flexibility. It is based on the novel concept of composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line metamaterials (MMs), which has led to the development of novel guided-wave, radiated-wave, and refracted-wave devices and structures. This engineering approach to metamaterials paves the way for a new generation of microwave and photonic devices and structures. It is recommended for electrical engineers, as well as physicists and optical engineers, with an interest in practical negative refractive index structures and materials."

bookfundas presents Cisco Networking Simplified, 2nd Edition: DOWNLOAD eBOOK NOW..! posted at BookFundas.com, saying, "Unlike the vast array of networking books written by geeks for geeks, this book was written for you and for anyone who wants to understand the computer networking phenomenon that has taken the world by storm. (In other words, it’s by geeks for non-geeks.) We understand that the vast majority of people working in this industry are not networking experts and that it is difficult to understand complex technical and business issues before knowing the answers to such questions"
